1997 Chevrolet Silverado LS review from North America

"This is one awesome truck!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

My fuel pump went bad at 100,000 miles, but my mechanic believes it went because of the gas station I was going at the time.

The CD player stopped working, but the radio still worked in it.

General comments?

This truck is awesome! I have beat this truck and it has never given me any problems, it runs better than my moms 2002 Tahoe and has way more power than it as well. It is only a 2x4 but you would not believe how well it does off road and during the snow storms we get up here in upstate N.Y.

I have gone through two sets of tires because of all the burnouts I have done, and it still drives perfect. I have raced my truck against many other vehicles and won almost every time! It smoked my buddy's 2000 eclipse, a dodge ram, and even beat a 1967 mustang with a bored out 305.

This truck is also very comfortable inside and out. The seats are very comfortable and the ride at any speed is excellent. The stereo in this truck is better than I expected as well.

Gas mileage is good on this truck if you don't put your foot into it, but even with a lot of weight in the bed it still gets decent mileage.

I have added a few things on to my truck such as fog lights, a front grill, taillights, and a true dual exhaust (glass-packs) that sounds awesome.
